Reviewing my Volunteered Computer

August 27, 2008

Well it’s been a while since I gave a BOINC cobblestone review.
I’ve actually had a look at my end of year targets and I seem to be on track with them.
I still have a couple of months obviously but It appears that I may have been a bit conservative with my estimates.
Stated Goals were SETI@Home [...]

Still a lot more Volunteering

March 26, 2008

Just a Quick Update on the BOINC Project I volunteer some CPU time towards.
SETI@Home: 60,178
Einstein@Home:31,071
Cosmology@Home: 6,700
Milkyway@Home:3,262
I seem to be making good progress on the targets I set.
Milkyway@Home has adjusted their credit per unit to 2.1 (down from 6.5) but a single workunit is taking me 7 minutes so I don’t mind
My Team at SETI@Home (which [...]

Distributed Computing for 2008

December 31, 2007

With the Start of 2008 I’d like to write down not a resolution as such but a Cobblestone Target for years End.
Before I begin the Cobblestone Totals for each of my Distributed Computing (BOINC) Projects.

Distributing the Cobblestones

December 16, 2007

I regularly have only one active host for all the volunteer computing that I have been doing. I have been getting a bit bored of just working on My two major projects SETI@Home and Einstein@Home. (Climate Prediction.Net  was good as well although I reserved that for my Linux System [Which I am without ATM])
 I have [...]

100,000 Cobblestones Stack to Form a Wall

November 20, 2007

I have now been credited with 100,000 cobblestones for computer time contributed to BOINC Projects.
A cobblestone is the equible yardstick to compare contribution of computer calculating power to BOINC Projects.
My 100,000 Cobblestones are distributed between my BOINC Projects

ET and His Friends

October 25, 2006

I am referring to my BOINC Powered Volunteered Computer Time
I have been running the computer for various projects and today After downloading another workunit for
Einstein@Home I’m considering just volunteering the time for maybe one or two projects.
My Current Contributions stand at
SETI@Home: 26,292.48
Einstein@Home: 12,308.18
BBC Climate Prediction: 11,405.00
Climateprediction.net: 8,734.00
I would consider continuing SETI@Home: and Climateprediction.net:

SETI@Home and other Volunteered Computer Time

March 7, 2006

Just an update on my contributed progress on SETI@Home my team Arrakis Australius has not had any additional members join Aside from SETI I have also been contributing computer time to:
Seti@Home: 17,104.93
Einstein@Home: 6,866.51
ClimatePredition.net: 4659.71
And I recently started contributing to the BBC Climate Change Experiment although I have returned anything yet
